Answer:

Gravity and

Air resistance

Explanation:

The two forces acting on a skydiver are gravitational force and air resistance.

Gravitational force is a force that tends to pull all massive bodies towards the center of the earth. It works on all bodies that has mass. The larger or bigger the mass, the more the pull of gravity on the body.

Air resistance is the drag of air on a body as it passes to it. It is resisting force.

When a sky diver jumps out of a plane, he/she encounters both gravity and air resistance.
It soon balances both force and attain terminal velocity.
Air resistance is a frictional force that opposes motion.
This frictional force pushes in the opposite direction of motion
Motion direction is downward due to the celerity caused by gravity.

Find the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a

34kurt

Answer:

E= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on ring= Q

Radius of ring=a

We have to find the magnitude of electric filed on the axis at distance a from the ring's center.

We know that the electric field at distance x from the center of ring of radius R is given by

$E=\frac{kQx}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

Substitute x=a and R=a

Then, we get

$E=\frac{KQa}{(a^2+a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{(2a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$

$E=\frac{KQa}{2\sqrt 2a^3}$

$E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Where K= $9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2$

Hence, the magnitude of the electric filed due to charged ring on the axis of ring at distance a from the ring's center= $\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}$

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti

liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

$p_f=p_i$

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

$p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}$

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

$m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}$

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so $v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}$ :

$m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0$

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for $v_{wf}$ :

$v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}$

$v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}$

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

A solution is oversaturated with solute. which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?

Grace [21]

<span>A solution is oversaturated with solute. The thing that could be done to decrease the oversaturation is to add more solvent in order to decrease the concentration of the solute. You can also increase the temperature to increase solubility of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>
